INTRODUCTION

India has some 12 million retail outlets, but many of these act merely as subsistence providers
for their owners and survive on a cost structure where labor and land is assumed to be free
and taxes nil. Compare this with the global retail industry, which is one of the world’s largest
organized employers, is at the cutting edge of technology, and which leverages scale and
scope to offer value-added services to its customers. However, only recently has there been
an awakening in this sector, with more organized retailers starting to make an impact. The

liberalization of the consumer goods industry, initiated in the mid-80s and accelerated
through the 90s has begun to impact the structure and conduct of the retail industry. Backed
by changing consumer trends and metrics, liberalization in mindsets driven by media, new
opportunities and increasing wealth, retailing in India, presents a vast opportunity for a
variety of businesses - real estate, store design & operations, visual merchandising logistics
and communications, B2C service providers, and FMCG companies who can add to their
offers by partnering this revolution.

Sales promotions are short-term incentives to encourage the purchase or sale of a product or
service. Sales promotion includes several communications activities that attempt to provide
added value or incentives to consumers, wholesalers, retailers, or other organizational
customers to stimulate immediate sales. These efforts can attempt to stimulate product
interest, trial, or purchase. Examples of devices used in sales promotion include coupons,
samples, premiums, point-of-purchase (POP) displays, contests, rebates, and sweepstakes.

The reason sales promotions are gaining popularity is due to the fact that product and sales
management are very confident in their ability to handle the techniques of sales promotion.
Other forms of integrated marketing communication tools need to go through a lot of thought
and internal debates before funds are allocated or decisions are arrived at. Product managers
also are more in control of the determination and implementation of sales promotional
activities. They have a freehand when it comes to what sales strategies to use. The
importance of sales promotions as an integrated marketing communications tool could be
attributed to the increase in number of specialist sales promotions agencies operating in
certain places. In the past, sales promotion was viewed as part of other marketing
communications techniques. Today, it is one of the stand-alone effective marketing tools.

The retail store is the place where the customers take a decision on the purchase of the
products offered by the retailer. The store also influences the perception that customers form
in their minds about the store, the products, services and staff. From the management’s point
of view, operations of the store and a major element of the cost. As a consequence, the store
itself becomes a critical asset of the retail business and it is imperative that the operations are
managed well to achieve and sustain customer satisfaction and be cost effective. Sales
Promotion is needed for retailers as it gives local personality, improvement in sales, quick
sales, maintains of possible retail price, increase sales turnover, maintain existing market and
explores new market.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE ON SALES PROMOTION

According to Zallocco and Kincaid1 (2008), promotion is the deliberate attempt on the part of
the individual business or other institution to communicate the appropriate information in a
manner persuasive enough to include the kind of acceptable response desired. Brussel (1991)
described that sale promotion consists of those marketing activities other than advertising
publicity and personal selling that stimulate customer purchasing. William and Ferrell 2
(1994) defined that sales promotion is an activity that act as a direct inducement, offering
added value or incentive for a product to resellers, salesperson or customers.

The Advertising Standard Authority’s (ASA) code of sales promotion defines sales
promotion as: Those marketing techniques which are used, usually on a temporary basis to
make goods and services more attractive to the consumers by providing some additional
benefit whether in cash or in kind. Sale promotion consists of a set of various and different
and often short period motive tools which is used for consumer’s or buyer’s provocation to
buy more and faster 3 (Neslin, 2002). According to Joncos 4 (1990) sales promotion is an
effective way of competitive retaliation rather than marketing activities.

Mercer (2002) defined promotion as it is a technique which mainly used by marketer on a


temporary basis to create an attractive goods or services to encourage the customers to
purchase goods or services in a specific time period by providing more benefits. Belch and
Belch (1996) defined sales promotions as direct encouragements provide an additional
stimulant for the products to be sold or distributed in a short period of time. Both Kotler 5
(2002) and Totten and Block 6 (1994) defined sales promotion as any activity which obtained
by the producers usually short term designed to encourage quicker or greater amount trade
retailer or wholesaler as well as influence individual to buy the product.

According to Perreault et al 7 (2006) opined sales promotion defined as a communicating


information within two parties, seller and potential buyers, which is obtained to effect
customers decisions. Brassington and Pettitt 8 (2000) provide a new definition for sales
promotion as “a range of marketing techniques designed within a strategic marketing
framework to add extra value to a product or service over and above the “normal” offering in
order to achieve specific sales and marketing objectives.

Montaner9 (2006) indicated that there are some factors can induce customers to buy more or
less, depends on his economic and hedonistic situation as well as his characteristics. Zallocco
et al10 (2008) defined sales promotion as it is an intentional effort from marketers to deliver
the appropriate information in suitable inducement way to get the desired acceptable
responses from the customers. Some researchers have different views that promotion is an
expensive tool and it may affect negatively on retailers profits (Walters and Mackenzie,
1988)11. Martinez and Montaner 12 (2006) indicated that there are some factors can induce
customers to buy more or less, depends on his economic and hedonistic situation as well as
his characteristics.

Cotton and Babb 13 (1978) another trend of sales promotion used to increase consumer
purchases which known as in-store promotion, it is more effective during the period when a
deal is going on. Walters and Mackenzie 14 (1988) some researchers have different views that
promotion is an expensive tool and it may affect negatively on retailers profits. Martinez and

Robinson and Carmack15 (1997) opined that coupons have been existed to produce product
trial. Gilbert and Jackaria16 (2002) they found that coupon promotions have no significant
